Lucky's Sandwich Company

Lucky's must be doing something right to have three locations around the city, I'm just not quite sure what that is. The sandwiches come with vinaigrette coleslaw and fries inside the sandwich, which basically overpower whatever else is in the sandwich. I ordered the Turkey & Cheese - or at least I think I did. I mainly tasted  the fries, which are good but belong to the side of the sandwich, and the vinaigrette coleslaw, which I had to scrape off because there was so much of it. Next time I want a sandwich in the area, I'll just go to Birchwood Kitchen or Jimmy John's. On the bright side, the sandwich I had at Lucky's was only $8. So there's that.

I was thinking this was a sandwich place, perhaps good for lunch, but it's really a bar. Whoops! With that in mind, I'm going to evaluate the food. I can't comment on the bar itself, as I was there at midday midweek when no one was really there.

The sandwiches all seem to come with fries in them. I guess that makes them filling, but it seemed more gross to me. I had a reuben, the reuben part of which was pretty solid, but the presentation of a massive, heaping sandwich stuffed with fries left me feeling blah after eating it.

They do some specials and variety sandwiches, which may be worth exploring, given that you want to go on a binge.

I work up the street from this place and have really been enjoying swinging by for lunch. The sandwiches taste great and are always too much for me to finish in one sitting. The beer menu is decent and both the servers I have dealt with have been very friendly. I love bartenders who will chat with you over lunch. Makes my breaks more enjoyable.
It's also nice to have a not so hipster-esque bar in Wicker Park. Just saying...
